Lucas Oil Off Road - Round 3 Report - Surprise AZ

Racing action resumed this weekend as the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series, presented by Geico Powersports, returns to its most familiar track, the Speedworld Off Road Park in Surprise, AZ. Lying at the northwest corner of Phoenix's urban sprawl, this track is always a great place to come back to, with warm temperatures and soothing breezes almost a guaranteed welcome. The stands were a nice place to be, as fans were again treated to a day of great racing, including some hotly-contested battles in the big truck classes. The points contenders are really coming to the fore now, and in case you couldn't make it or listen in, here's what you missed.

Junior 2 Kart The first race of the weekend was that of the Junior 2 Karts. Myles Cheek and Maxwell Ries started from the front row, and after some first lap confusions led to a full restart of the race, it was Cheek in his #457 CMI/Specialty Fasteners kart leading Chad Graham and his #410 Hart and Huntington/MavTV machine at the end of lap one. In third it was Ries in the #474 ProAm/Fleming Racing Engines kart, followed by Brock Heger in the #411 Brock Heger Racing/Racer X Motorsports truck (fourth), and Jeremy Davis in the #485 Green Army/Simpson entry (fifth). Cheek and Graham were running nose-to-tail in a close battle for the lead, and they maintained their battle all the way to the competition yellow, at which point the order in the top five was still the same. After the restart, Graham's pressure on Cheek seemed to go away slightly, and Cheek ran a little more safely in the lead. Near the end of the race, however, the top three tightened right up, but Cheek held tough to take a wire-to-wire win. Graham and Ries finished close behind in second and third, ahead of Heger in fourth and Davis in fifth.

Junior 1 Kart Next up were the Junior 1 Karts, and it was Eliott Watson who turned his pole starting position into the early lead in his #203 UPR Racing Supply/RC10.com kart. In second it was Broc Dickerson in the #223 Rockstar/Eibach Springs machine, followed by Conner McMullen in the #288 Monster Energy/Bully Dog entry, Wolfgang Ries in the #273 ProAm/iTi Performance Motorsports truck, and Corey Geiser in the #245 Geiser Bros Design and Development/Canidae kart. Jack Yeiser moved his #244 Fiberwerx/General Tire machine up to fifth on lap two, and after this, the top five began to gradually string out as they ran towards the competition yellow. Once the Can-Am Commander pace vehicle pulled out to bunch up the field under the competition yellow, it was still Watson, Dickerson, McMullen, Ries, and Yeiser in the top five. The order up front remained the same once green flag racing resumed, but on lap eight, McMullen pulled off the track with an unknown issue, promoting Ries, Yeiser, and Travis PeCoy up to third, fourth, and fifth. From there on in, the top five drivers held their positions, with Watson taking the win after leading the entire race. Second went to Dickerson, third, to Ries, fourth to Yeiser, and fifth to PeCoy in the #211 K&N/Hoosier machine.

@Aaron92SE Thanks, that makes sense I didn’t think there was that much weight to be shed in the bumpers and wheels.

Now if only I knew of some good springs for our cars, my back end is getting kinda high with my eibachs. Don’t know whether it would be better to try Sprints or try to hack up some strut housings to make coilovers with some ers springs

How did you managed to get it down to 27XXlbs race weight? My car is about 3100lbs with me (160lbs) and a 190lb passenger so my race weight would be 200lbs over what yours is but I have done some things you only planned on doing in your build thread (like gut the trunk lid). I do have stock wheels, motor, seats, dash, etc. but I don’t have carpet, sound deadening, insulation, or AC.
